Salesforce laid out the framework during the keynote address at the cloud computing event in San Francisco.

It has no running water or electricity, and – like Thoreau – we built it ourselves. I often think of the process of building my cottage when advising others on implementing marketing automation. Both processes require preparation, setting goals and commitment to make something solid. How...

Obviously, it’s a proud moment, and I want to warmly welcome the new shareholders that invest in our people,...

Collaboration has been a big topic for us at Eloqua lately. With this week's announcement of Chatter Inside Eloqua, we thought it would be a good idea to explain why we believe this will make a huge difference to marketers. On the left hand side of this chart, you can easily see the pain experienced by the 92% of companies who responded to Forrester's survey as being less than tightly aligned. Compare that with the joy experienced by those respondents to Aberdeen's survey...

Its been a little over a year since we published our Chart of the Week looking at the top cities with the most expertise based on the number of people using Eloqua. Since a lot can change in a year, we thought it’d be interesting to revisit the topic, this time looking at what cities have shown the most growth in marketing users. We focused on cities with 50 or more Eloqua users in June 2011 and compared the corresponding user count in those same cities a year later....

In celebrating the Eloqua AppCloud’s first birthday this week, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at the contrast in leads generated by marketing organizations using apps compared to those who are not. Not surprisingly, we found that Eloqua customers who use apps as part of their marketing experience a substantial increase in monthly form submissions over their peers who are not yet using apps. Even more compelling is that the more apps used, the higher the...
